This morning we just replaced the broken bolt and pinched the others up a bit, but the spacer bends at the corners. Having said that, even this has made an unexpected difference to the handling. The back end now feels much more positive around corners.

So I can't wait to get it sorted properly tomorrow!!!
Good result then eh, so good can come from bad eh, especially on a Pilgrim lol.
